Consciousness does not seek itself; it is itself.

The meaning-making, image-based essence of the mind is consciousness as selfpoesis.

Once aware, compassion effortlessly flows. And when it speaks, consciousness would utter, "Do no harm."

The consciousness that one speaks of is not the constant selfpoesis of consciousness.

The more one seeks consciousness, the further it withdraws; the moment selfpoesis occurs, one is revealed, the gateway beckons, and one results numinous reality.
